Google Pixel 4 just released. But apparently, this smartphone's face unlock can open the screen, even if it's done in closed eyes.
Google Pixel 4 just launched a few days ago. Even so, a problem related to face unlock has occurred. A security researcher found that this face unlock feature can make other people access the device.
Normally, a face unlock, like Apple's Face ID, requires users to look at the screen so that the feature works. This is needed to prevent others from unlocking the screen by scanning the user's face while asleep. It's just that Google Pixel 4 is different.
Google previously revealed that the device meets security requirements as a biometric sensor. Face Unlock on Google Pixel 4 can be used to unlock the screen and authorize payments.
In fact, the BBC (18/10), reported that the face unlock Pixel 4 can still be used when users pretend to be asleep. That is, in closed eyes. Ironically, in a number of tests, this has been repeated with the same method. In fact, in the leak before launching, Pixel 4 requires users to open their eyes so that this security feature can work.
Google also reacted to this finding. In its official page, this technology giant explains how this face unlock feature works. One point states that basically face unlock on Google Pixcel 4 can indeed be opened even though the user's eyes are closed.
For this reason, Google calls on Pixel 4 users to guard their devices from such attacks. Not only that, someone with a face that is very similar to the user also can apparently unlock the screen. In fact, the screen lock will open as soon as the user stares at the Pixel 4 screen, whether intentional or not.
"We will continue to work to improve Face Unlock over time," Google said, as reported by the BBC
